3 in progress, 2 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • VR for Pediatric Renal Biopsies

  • Oral vs IV Sedation for Cataract Surgery in Older Adults

    open to eligible people ages 65 years and up

    The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if taking a pill (oral sedation) works just as well as getting medicine through a vein (IV sedation) to help older adults feel relaxed during cataract surgery. We are also studying how these two methods affect recovery, especially thinking and memory after surgery, and how satisfied people are with their care. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either oral sedation (+ IV placebo) or IV sedation (+ oral placebo) before their cataract surgery. They will complete short surveys about their thinking and recovery before and after surgery, and will be contacted by phone after surgery to check on their recovery. The results of this study will help doctors understand if a simple pill can be a safe and effective alternative to IV sedation for cataract surgery.

  • Inhaled Isoflurane Delivered Via the Sedaconda ACD-S Compared to Intravenous Propofol for Sedation of Mechanically Ventilated Intensive Care Unit Adult Patients (INSPiRE-ICU2)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This is a study to compare safety and efficacy of inhaled isoflurane administered via the Sedaconda ACD-S device system versus intravenous propofol for sedation of mechanically ventilated patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting.
